Goren Boccard Gold Brook Bruck Mena Levinson City Attorney Vice Mayor Commissioner Mayor Commissioner Commissioner City Manager Coral Springs keeps its promise to families For the third year in a row, America’s Promise named the City of Coral Springs one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People. In 2005, former Secretary of State Colin Powell founded America’s Promise to increase the health and success of young people from birth to 21 years of age. This year, more than 300 communities throughout the nation applied for this honor. Coral Springs was judged on criteria regarding our City’s commitment to fulfill five essential promises critical to the well-being of young people: caring adults who are actively involved in their lives; safe places in which to learn and grow; a healthy start toward adulthood; an effective education that builds marketable skills; and opportunities to help others. “When a community provides all that its young people need to be healthy and secure, they deserve to be honored and showcased as an outstanding example of what it takes to successfully nurture this nation’s young people,” America’s Promise Founding Chairman General Colin L. Powell said. Coral Springs was once again recognized in large part because of the City’s Youth Services Committee, which pulls together community stakeholders from public and private organizations, local businesses, the Chamber of Commerce and local government to empower youth to pursue City leadership opportunities and develop solutions to youth problems. The Family Success Center also provides underserved families with human services such as child and family therapy, financial assistance resources, job search training for teens, and referrals to social services. “Coral Springs, being a family community, has always given the City reasons to explore opportunities to reach out to families and provide for their needs, especially our young people,” Commissioner Claudette Bruck said.
